This is the pink tree I have in my kitchen.I decorate the mantel with a garland to match. I use lots of pink and silver glass balls and pink ribbons. I love the clear iceicles and pink glass light bulbs, both from Walmart I think. I just keep buying and adding as I see things that will look cute. I got the sweet wooden gingerbread boys hanging from the mantel years ago at a local craft fair. You can click on any of the pictures for a really close up view. That would be our kitty "Missy" trying to pull the whole thing down.

Memories of Laura Ashley tea parties, handmade gift exchanges and ribbons tied around wine glass stems came flooding back to me when I saw these pictures! Like you said, definitely a 'blast from the past'!

Outside of loving my little business and helping people to make family heirlooms I have a wonderful life here in Abbotsford, BC. I love old things, family life, healthy living, green living, literature, sewing, gardening, parenting and cooking. That's what I'll be blogging about day after day.
